Vancouver Facial Plastic Surgery
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 66.3/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #21 of 22 ranked clinics · last checked 30 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Facial plastic surgery practice operating out of a private non-hospital surgical facility in Vancouver. Responsible surgeon named with role and tied to this address; a second named surgeon practises at the same facility. Both are matched by name in the official British Columbia physician register under a related surgical specialty. The facility is separately listed in the official non-hospital surgical facility accreditation list under the same address and one of the named physicians as director. A legal entity for one of the named physicians is disclosed in the site's own privacy policy; no match was found for it in the federal corporate register.
Registers read for the jurisdiction: BC.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. CPSBC registrant directory: 'Valenzuela, Dianne Gandionco', practice type 'Specialty practice - otolaryngology - head and neck surgery' — found in the register under a related surgical specialty, not recorded as plastic surgery itself.

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). CPSBC: MSP 35310, Licence status Practising, Licence class Full. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [board-valenzuela] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. CPSBC NHMSFAP list: 'West Coast Cosmetic Surgery Centre', 943 West Broadway, Vancouver, Director: Dr. Andrew Denton, Class 2: IV Sedation — matches this clinic's address exactly. [facility] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The site's own privacy policy names 'Dr. Andrew B. Denton, Inc.' as a data-sharing party; a federal corporate-name search for that entity returned 0 results (expected for a BC-incorporated medical corporation, outside federal scope). [site-privacy] [corp] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Credentials and fellowship names stated as text; no licence or registration numbers published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One unattributed superlative found describing the surgeon. [site] Dr. Valenzuela is an award-winning Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon in Vancouver. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-08-30 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Recovery/aftercare and potential-risks sections published on procedure pages; no dedicated informed-consent, revision-policy or complaint-route page found on the surveyed pages. [site-blepharoplasty] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
